Plans to create Europe's first predator-proof seabird reserve have received overwhelming public support. The project in Jersey would be designed to restore coastal habitats and protect wildlife from predators with a specialised one mile (1.6km) fence. The reserve is being proposed by the Birds On The Edge (BOTE) partnership - a joint initiative between The National Trust for Jersey, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and the Government of Jersey.
A TEAM of experts is hoping to start a monitoring and conservation project for Europe’s most endangered seabird, thousands of which are known to gather near Jersey.
The National Trust for Jersey and the Birds on the Edge project hosted a worksho.
